The National Aquarium’s new Harbor Wetlands in Baltimore is a great example of Maryland ingenuity. This project showcases how wetlands help improve water quality and provide habitat for wildlife.

Despite her rough start, this green sea turtle at the National Aquarium in Baltimore, Maryland is an amazing success story! 17 years ago she was found cold-stunned in the Long Island Sound.

She was moved to the Aquarium, where she has grown to be the 500 pound queen of the Blacktip Reef! | The Association of Zoos and Aquariums | Facebook
